Compact multimode silicon tuner receives T-DMB, ISDB-T, and DAB broadcasts
SUNNYVALE, CA—June 4, 2009—Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the MAX2169, a multimode silicon tuner for mobile TV. This device receives signals in the FM, VHF-III, UHF, and L-band spectrums, making it ideal for multimode applications that need to receive mobile TV and audio broadcasts. On-chip tracking filters, lowpass filters, and LNAs eliminate the need for expensive external components, thus saving space and cost. The IC operates in either zero-IF (ZIF) mode for DVB-H and ISDB-T or in low-IF mode for DAB and T-DMB. Offering a compact multiband solution, the MAX2169 is ideal for mobile multimedia applications such as cell phones, portable music players (PMPs), and USB sticks.
The MAX2169 operates from a single 2.7V supply and consumes only 130mW when receiving ISDB-T 13-segment signals. Power consumption in L-band mode is a low 110mW.
The MAX2169 is available in a small, 6mm x 6mm, 40-pin TQFN package, and is fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. Prices start at $4.00 (1000-up, FOB USA). An evaluation kit and reference designs are being developed to speed designs—contact the factory for availability.
